Coalition agreement signed between CDU and SPD in Hesse
The CDU won the state election in Hesse on October 8 with 34.6%, clearly ahead of all other parties. The SPD came third with 15.1% after the AfD with 18.4%. After exploratory talks, the CDU decided against a new alliance with the Greens and in favor of coalition negotiations with the SPD. Party conferences approved the coalition agreement on Saturday.
The negotiations were very intensive, constructive and, above all, confidential, said Rhein. Faeser expressed her thanks for negotiations "at eye level" despite the poor SPD result. Faeser, who was the SPD's top candidate, wants to remain Federal Minister of the Interior and not move to Hesse. The new state parliament will convene for its constituent session on January 18.
